No days off for infamous Lebowakgomo born rapper, Katlego Chauke, otherwise known as “Shebeshxt”. The controversial artist appeared in absentia before the Lebowakgomo Regional Court on Thursday, according to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
An attempted murder charge raised against him in 2022 saw him subpoenaed to attend court last week. The case is in relation to an incident where Shebeshxt is being held liable for stabbing a man in Lebowakgomo, Limpopo.
A recent update from the National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, was issued to the public. He said the pre-trial was postponed by the regional court to give the artist an opportunity to provide a sick note.
“The accused, Lehlogonolo ‘Shebeshxt’ Chauke, has appeared in absentia at the Lebowakgomo regional court for pre-trial on a count of attempted murder,” said Malabi-Dzhangi.
“The accused could not attend court proceedings due to his sickness. The court postponed the matter to July 19, 2024, to enable him to provide a medical certificate to show his inability to attend court.”
The recent car accident…
Shebeshxt was released from hospital last week, reported family spokesperson and attorney, Lot Rammusi. He told Sunday World, that the rapper was still in a vulnerable state and needed time to recover at home.
“He was discharged yesterday, is now recovering at home and is getting better,” Ramusi said at the time.
Shebeshxt survived a fatal car accident that took the life of his nine-year-old daughter, Onthatile Chuene.
The Limpopo hitmaker’s car crashed into a truck while he was on his way to drop off his girlfriend and his daughter at their house before heading to an ANC Siyanqoba rally celebration concert in Lebowakgomo.
